Why it worked

The video succeeds by leveraging a relatable 'high school vs. college' trope paired with a dramatic, incongruous audio clip that highlights the absurdity of the creator's exhaustion.

Summary

The creator uses a humorous contrast between his high-energy behavior in high school and his exhausted, dramatic behavior in college after attending a single class. The video relies on a popular audio trend to illustrate the difference in his lifestyle.
